[notes to accompany 2viola.1bk] Here are some new patches; Wahieh; Enter the vast world of VL with this strange beast. With Mod 2 down and Mod 1 up you have an opera-singer on b3 and c4 and frogs in the upper octave of the keyboard. Geese are residing in the c2-c3 area. With Mod 2 in center position and Mod 1 down someone's shouting and yodeling Eehah and Aheeh (physical yodeling) when you alternately play g3 and c4, whilst blowing hard. This is, however, the tip of the iceberg. For Babyphone-fans. 2-Viola's; I feel a soundtrack coming on. Aftertouch adds vibrato, modulation trills, continuous slider 1 mute, continuous slider 2 harmonics. Switch to unison for polyphonic playing. Increase return on the delay for more space/instruments. VyoMod4fxt; Quiet, moody, mysterious, X-file-ish. Same recipe as 2-viola's, except for modulation. Extreme settings of modulation change the instrument into a kind of theremin or singing saw. Briefly pulling back the modulation wheel puts the system in oscillation, which can be sustained by breath control. The-Rock; A Vangelis-style sound. Modulation wheel 2 brings in scream and throat to change held notes into ominous drones, especially way down low. X-Pander; A cross between an Oberheim X-pander lead sound and Pat Metheny's guitar synth. A thing of beauty. Mr.Blatty; This fierce FM-like brass-monster was created from (believe it or not) a crumhorn-patch. 3mSynSaxBC; Expressive lead/ensemble sound. Good for Jazzrock/world. King Fisum; Morphs between a thunderous, inharmonic bass and a hand-stricken plastic tub. Use the octave switches to explore the full range of possible timbres. To scare the bass player and the percussionist shitless. Banjo; Sort of. Regards; Wietze Krikke. [.@.@.]
